It is a beautiful neighborhood of the city, where you can find museums, shops of traditional products, temples, and a large number of attractions, which are the most typical of Japan, especially in Nara, which is one of the oldest and best preserved cities of Japan (should not be forgotten that once was capital of the Empire). While it is away from the main and most famous attractions, it is worth making time to visit. The tour bus leaves you very close there.

沿着步行商店街﹐可以從小巷走進附近的住宅區。這裡大部分是古舊建築﹐木製的房屋﹐流露出古樸的江戶時代風格。雖然這裡都有一些新建築﹐但巧妙地和舊建築配合﹐並沒有破壞這裡的風格。 more »

Along the pedestrian street, you can walk from an alley to a nearby residential area. Most of this is ancient buildings, wooden houses, revealing the ancient Pot of the river Deffing. Although there are a few new buildings here, but skillfully with the old building, and did not break the wind here.
